Dear Juno and anyone else who may find themselves in this situation,
My name is Emma and I'm a senior at Foothill Technology High School and I have the utmost respect for your decision but I have a few things to say.
I know that you may feel ashamed but you should of thought about what would happen after before you did the action. Being well prepared and knowing what you can do to prevent unwanted or just pregnancy. Being well educated on sex isn’t a bad thing so that means you should talk to a nurse or your parents, talk to the people that will be able to answer all of your questions. Going to talk to people about your pregnancy is the right things to do also. You want to make sure that you eat healthy and you are getting the right amount of exercise a day to make sure the baby is healthy.
Once you get pregnant you should think about what you want to do if you keep the baby. You may think you messed up by getting pregnant but now you have a chance to make it better. Planning a family takes time. You should be on the same level with you significant other and make sure that one of you, or both of you, have a stable job to support all three of you. You should also have a place of your own. Your parents won’t be around forever.
The Fourteenth Amendment gives you the right of privacy to your choice and it protects you. There’s choice of abortion or adoption. If you want to pick abortion, the law also gives you the privacy to have one and thanks to Roe Vs. Wade you can do that because it’s legal. Once you find out that you are pregnant and you aren’t ready for a baby, you must do it right away because soon after that the baby begins to grow and it will be too late to stop it. Aside from abortion, adoption is also and answer. There are families out there ready to have a baby if you aren’t. Giving a baby up for adoption is ok. At the end of your pregnancy you fall in love with the baby but still feel like you’re not ready there’s open adoption. That’s where you can still keep in contact with you baby and watch them as they grow up. The other option is a closed adoption where you don’t have any contact with your baby after you give he or she to another family.
If I were in your position I would freak out. I’m not ready to go to college let alone to take care of a baby. I would, also, consider my options. I WOULD NOT have an abortion. The thought of me killing a baby that could later do something to benefit this world makes me sick. I would make sure that I have a stable environment and start eating healthy. I would make sure to be on the same level as my significant other and give the baby up for adoption to a family that is ready to have one but I would have an open adoption.
I, also, think you made the right choice in carrying the baby to term and giving it to Vanessa. She couldn’t have a baby and babies make her happy. You know she will care for it and love I when you weren’t able to. You have your whole life to have a baby on your terms.
